Dream Mande: Djata
A masterpiece of oral history using wordsmiths and musicians in the Mandinka tradition. The show melds together traditional griot structures with Traor?'s own narrative, to tell the age-old epic of Mandinka civilisation, using parts of the legend of Soundiata Ke?ta - the powerful founding father to the Malian empire.
